It is a meaningful way to remember our loved ones who have passed on. It is also a very important fundraiser for the shul. If all members buy an ad to remember a parent, or grandparent, or friend, this will greatly help the shul.

This year we are including a tribute page in memory of our esteemed member and friend, Dr. Mark Weiner zl.

We are asking everyone to resubmit the names of their loved ones, even if you have submitted names in previous years. This is needed because we are updating the software used to publish the booklet.
